I'm starting to plan a hoped-for trip in early July of 2023. The area was burned, re-burned, and some re-re-burned. I don't think there are trees enough for hammock camping though possibly some of the re-growth in the burns might be big enough. The ground is very rocky. I haven't been clear to the spot but when I was somewhat near there in the 80s it was really hard to find even a small tent site. It has me thinkin' bivy sack. Close to the coast humidity could be a thing. (It can also be over 100 degrees with low single digit humidity there but that's usually a late summer thing.)

What bivies are best so far as avoiding condensation? I'm looking for water resistant if not fully waterproof. Hooped is preferable but if there's a means to rig something to lift the mesh off my face I might be able to work with it. I do plan to carry a tarp in addition to the bivy. Light weight and compact matter as well.

Thoughts/suggestions?


Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Here be dragons ...
